"Brilliant . . . Offering a serenely witty portrait of Wisconsin working-class life." --New York magazine
"Walt and Skeezix is a jewel of a book, a treasure just waiting to be discovered." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"What can be seen in this volume certainly qualifies it as one of the most loving and lyrical evocations of everyday life in American literature." --The Star-Ledger (Newark)
"The strips are a treat to read, both for themselves and as historical documents; the accompanying commentaries delve into the background and values of Gasoline Alley and the life of a great, but overlooked, American cartoonist." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
